Joe Biden is counting on Nevada. Has the COVID-19 pandemic hurt his chances?
LA Times via Yahoo ^ | 10/05/2020 | Mark Z. Barabak

On a blazing hot afternoon, two canvassers recently went door to door in a working-class neighborhood of east Las Vegas, bearing masks, campaign fliers and the weight of Democratic worries.

Up and down stairs, across baking driveways, past thirsty lawns, Maria Magana and Atilano Salgado took turns asking voters in English, Spanish and a combination if they would support Joe Biden for president.

"Perfecto," Magana responded when the answer was yes. Then she entered the information on a tablet cradled in her arm

That only works if people recognize who to blame.

—the corruption consists primarily of the Culinary Workers Union and the Service Employees International Union-—

—weeks ago fliers were being circulated in Spanish exhorting the recipient to get registered and vote—because Trump will deport you if he wins again—

—probably 12-15000 potential illegals voting in Clark County tips the scaled—

I have only recently seen a few Biden signs, still think I have only seen two cars with Biden signs. By comparison, despite the risk of vandalism, I do see quite a bit of Trump stickers on cars, plus a few house signs.

Hillary won Nevada by only 27K votes. Obama won it in 2012 by almost 70K. All types of math in this one, but if you have enough of the Vegas workers blaming it on the Governor more than Trump you would only have to flip about 15K votes.

If Trump could win Nevada and Minnesota, it would help offset any surprises or, for instance, the loss of PA.

We don’t know because everything that happens stays there.

Early in person voting starts the 17th of October and runs through the 30th [in Reno].

And if one doesn't have an identification card with picture and signature, one could be disenfranchised even if properly registered -- all it takes is one poll judge to dispute the signature. No ID? Rots of ruck.

Oh, you say, go to the Nevada DMV and get an ID card? Hollow laugh -- you can't get an appointment for the rest of 2020, let alone before the election. (It took more than a year to get the necessary paperwork out of California.) "Get a passport" says the Washoe County Election Office. Depend on the Post Office?

And Democrats talk about barriers to voting. In Nevada, Democrats are the ones doing it.

Lots of illegals work in the culinary union, right?

I've seen a grand total of 8 yards with Biden signs*, and perhaps over a hundred with Trump signs.

* It was three yesterday, I hit a bad patch on the driving me crazy expedition today, the total includes one yard sign that was being hand carried, presumably to a yard, (or perhaps a dumpster?)

“My neighborhood has a lot of Biden/Harris signs. It has NO Trump signs.”
_________________________________________________________________________________

Same here...no Trump signs in a 65% Pubbie town, but a good number of signs for local Pubbie candidates...

Just a smattering of Biden/Harris signs, not huge numbers ...

Trump signs likely have been stolen or more likely not put out...

For me, I will make my political statement on 11/3...

Who would want a rock thrown through a window of the house with a Trump sign out front? Or worse?

These Democrat=/Antifa/BLM types are insane...

And an actual Trump/Pence office in the northwest. More than I can say for last election. Looks like they’re going for it. I’ve seen a lot of trump signs being stolen though. That big one on Buffalo and Cheyenne is gone. So obviously the bad guys are going for it too.

Las Vegas may be corrupt but their citizenry is not leftist in the same way other blue cities are.

Mail in is NOT mandatory.

Hate to break the news, but mail in ballots are mandatory in NV. The legislature made it mandatory. Now you may be claiming that the act of mailing it is not mandatory, but that's irrelevant. 100's of thousands of mail-in ballots are going to be fraudulent and that's a problem.

I have a 4’x6’ Trump sign out front.

Within a week, 10 or more neighbors put out Trump 2020 sings.

My next-door neighbor of course has his Biden sign out.

Well, I WILL be voting in person as will Mrs rktman at a polling place of our choice between Oct 17 to 30th in Washoe county. Any unsolicited mail in ballot will shredded in the cross cut shredder. At least our votes may actually get counted. 😀🙌📴
